WORKS FOR PIANO IN THE CONTEXT OF OLEG NEGRUTA’S COMPOSITION ACTIVITY

Abstract

In this article, the author describes the piano heritage of composer O. Negruţa as a part of the composer’s creativity, placing into focus the perspective of revaluation of his piano works in the concert and pedagogical activity in the Republic of Moldova. The general presentation of the pianistic works includes not only the published works (the collection „Spring mood”, „Album for children”, the pieces „Scherzo”, „Improvisation”, etc.), but also the manuscripts (Concerto for piano and orchestra, two notebooks „Songs without words”, polyphonic works, etc.), including the pianistic duets and personal transcriptions of some well-known works („Nocturne” — fragment from the Concerto for trumpet and orchestra, „Hora staccato” by G. Dinicu, etc.).
